In some implementations, a computing device can provide a map application providing a representation of a physical structure of venues (e.g., shopping centers, airports) identified by the application. In addition, the application can provide an inside view that includes the physical layout and geometry of the venue's structure as well as the location, structure and layout of points of interest (e.g., stores, security check points, restrooms) within the venue. The views become more detailed as the user zooms into the venue to reveal points of interest and to give the user a feel for traversing the venue.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
5. The method as recited in claim 4, wherein the set of attributes of the virtual camera comprises an angular pitch for the virtual camera.
6. The method as recited in claim 4, wherein the set of attributes of the virtual camera comprises a rotation of the virtual camera.
7. The method as recited in claim 4, wherein the set of attributes of the virtual camera comprises a distance of the virtual camera from a region on the map.
8. The method of claim 1, wherein dynamically, by the mapping application, adjusting the map of the navigation presentation comprises one of: changing a perspective, changing a zoom level, and modifying a display of a structure shown in the map.
9. The method of claim 8, wherein dynamically adjusting, by the mapping application, the map of the navigation presentation comprises animating an element in the map.
10. The method of claim 8, wherein dynamically adjusting, by the mapping application, the map of the navigation presentation comprises one of: zooming in a view of a floor in the map and zooming out a view of a floor in the map.
11. The method of claim 1, wherein the particular structure is dynamically selected, by the mapping application, responsive to determining that the particular structure obstructs a view of the route.
12. The method of claim 1, wherein the particular structure is dynamically selected, by the mapping application, responsive to determining that presentation of the particular structure is unnecessary in order to display the route.
13. The method of claim 1, wherein dynamically adjusting, by the mapping application, the map of the navigation presentation comprises graying out and/or showing in phantom the particular structure of the plurality of structures in the venue, wherein the particular structure is dynamically selected, by the mapping application, based on the selection criteria for dynamic adjustment.
14. The method of claim 1, wherein dynamically adjusting, by the mapping application, the map of the navigation presentation comprises separating floors, in the map, to corresponding separate illustrations.
15. The method of claim 1, wherein dynamically adjusting, by the mapping application, the map of the navigation presentation comprises repositioning the floor in the map.
16. The method of claim 1, wherein dynamically adjusting, by the mapping application, the map of the navigation presentation comprises rotating the floor in the map.
21. The non-transitory computer-readable medium as recited in claim 20, wherein the set of attributes of the virtual camera comprises an angular pitch for the virtual camera.
22. The non-transitory computer-readable medium as recited in claim 20, wherein the set of attributes of the virtual camera comprises a rotation of the virtual camera.
23. The non-transitory computer-readable medium as recited in claim 20, wherein the set of attributes of the virtual camera comprises a distance of the virtual camera from a region on the map.
28. The system as recited in claim 27, wherein the set of attributes of the virtual camera comprises at least one of: an angular pitch for the virtual camera and a rotation of the virtual camera.
29. The system as recited in claim 27, wherein the set of attributes of the virtual camera comprises a distance of the virtual camera from a region on the map.
